a dragon goby sifts sand all over your corals a orange spot goby sifts sand over sand. i have one around 6" very big he can do my whole tank by the time out of bed he keeps my sand shiny. is a pain to sandbed corals though mine digs my elegance out and my clam out all the time.

they also build burrows under rocks so make sure your rockwork is stable.


i hated my dragon goby and gave it away for free.... ive come to love my orange

I'm going to look for an orange spot goby. I have a few corals on my sand so I don't want a sand storm covering or aggravating them. The rocks are on the bottom of the tank so they should be stable for burrows...not sure where all my sand snails have gone. The right side of the tank looks worse. Will also lower the ph a bit and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions!

I got sand stars. In two of my big tanks they do a Pretty good job. Not as fast as my gobies in my other tank but they get the job done.

I'd definitely love some starfish, but I think the tank is too young for them. They seem like a good choice but what are their long term survival rates like?
